As Close As We'll Ever Be
Ferlin Husky · By Request [Capitol] [1964]
(Harlan Howard)
Once those two lips were true
Lips they meant every word they said
But a woman has the right
To change her mind and you did.
Twas on a June night in moonlight
When you said you love me
But that's as close
As we will ever be.
That's as close as we will ever be
You took back the heart you gave me
Once we planned and we scheemed
We talked and we dreamed.
But that's as close as we
Will ever be.
Once we planned and we scheemed
We talked and we dreamed.
But that's as close as we
Will ever be....
